U of G Women, Work and Wellness Session

Gendered Bias in the Workplace

This session will offer research-based information on performance and attribution bias and discuss practical ways to work toward systemic changes. Performance bias is based on deep-rooted—and incorrect—assumptions about women’s and men’s abilities, including a tendency to underestimate women’s performance and overestimate men’s performance.

Attribution bias views women as less competent than men, meaning that women often receive less credit for accomplishments and more blame for mistakes. (definitions from leanin.org).

A light lunch will be provided. Please register using this RSVP link.
